KETT C-600 Rice Whiteness Meter

KETT Whiteness Tester is designed to measure the whiteness of rice. Rice whiteness directly correlates with the amount of milling. Therefore, you can use this device to indirectly measure the milling percentage of a rice sample (glutinous and non-glutinous). To make a test, simply insert sample case containing rice. Both the number of measurements and the whiteness value will be immediately displayed. The LCD fluorescent display has excellent visibility, making it easy for anyone to see the measurement. By using the supplied sample cup and “fixed quantity” shooter, a constant sample amount is tested, substantially reducing measurement variation.

About the machine

This device is designed to measure the whiteness of rice based on our own uniquely developed standard. The C-600 measures reflectivity and utilizes two blue LEDs as its light source. The light from the blue LEDs shine onto the sample surface at a 45 degree angle. Next, the amount of reflected light reflected is measured with a photo diode. The whiter the sample, the more light reflected back and detected, and thus a higher measurement value is registered. The whiteness of rice correlates directly with the milling percentage of that rice. Therefore, you can use this device to indirectly measure the milling percentage of a rice sample
